Flashback:

Hermione and Ron were the first to head to bed. Ginny soon fallowed Hermione. I still had one more thing to do before bed. I needed a little help from Harry to accomplish this task with out getting in trouble.

Chapter 11

"Good night Rachel" Harry said getting up. I stood up also.

"Harry, can I barrow your invisibility cloak?" I asked innocently. He turned towards me with suspicion.

"Why do you need it?" He asked. All it took was for him to give me that big brother look and I felt like I was three and in trouble.

"I was going to go visit Clyde" I finally said. I saw his shoulders relax and he grinned.

"Of course you can use it. Hold on just a minute" He said bolting up the stairs. A minute later he jogged back down and I snuck out of the common room. I pushed open the doors and silently ran across the grass. I slipped through the gate and swung onto Clyde's back. I lay down backwards and looked up at the stars. They were glittering and twinkling brighter than I had ever seen. It was pretty east to find the Dog Star Sirius. My mom really liked that man. I would bet she was in love with him. I smile at the thought of his becoming my step-dad. I was so busy thinking of my mom that when the gate shut I jumped. I turned so quickly that I rolled off Clyde and landed with an 'oaf'. Someone chuckled and I looked into the face of Draco Malfoy. This kid is like fallowing me or stalking me!

"What are you doing out here after curfew, Rachel?" The way he said my name sent shivers up my spine. It rolled of his tongue as though it was said in bed.

"I could ask you the same question. I'm out here because I needed to think," I snapped at him. He just chuckled and hauled me to my feet. When he didn't let my arms go I tried to jerk back. His grip tightened and I knew I was in deep shit. He pushed me backwards until my back was against the fence. We were in the same position as we were on the train.

"My dad was very curious as to why I asked him your name. However, he did tell me all about you. Apparently you are supposed to hold some great magic. The Dark Lord wants you on his side. He will do anything to achieve this goal. Do you even know why you are special to him?" Draco whispered in my ear. I opened my mouth to reply but couldn't. I don't know why Voldemort wants me.

"Your silence is the answer I thought you would have. Dumbledore hasn't told you anything," he smirked. "I guess I will have to ruin some of the surprise. Your gift is death and destruction." He said against my lips. I was frozen and didn't even push him away.

"W-w-what?" I stuttered. This had to be a lie. I couldn't cause death and destruction. I looked into his eyes and saw them soften for just a moment. There was something more to Draco Malfoy.

"Yes Rachel. You will cause all your friends deaths. Your other magic will surface soon. When that does happen then you won't have any control. You are not strong enough to control it; only one person is. The only person who can help you is the Dark Lord. With out his you will only cause death and destruction to the ones closest to you," Draco explained. Tears were running down my face by the end of his explanation. He reached up and gently wiped them away. I looked into his eyes once more and saw then soften once again. He leaned in a kissed me. I stood in shock while he pulled away grinning. His eyes were cold and evil once again. He pivoted on his heel and stalked towards the gate. At the gate he turned at let his eyes do a once over of my body. I was clinging desperately to the rail.

"You will join the death eaters. The next time I kiss you, you will respond." Then he was gone. I let go of the rail and slid to the ground. Clyde walked over and lay down next to me. I cried into his coat until I couldn't cry anymore. Since I had classes tomorrow I picked myself up and headed into the castle. When I got to bed I tossed and turned all night.

I was forced awake by a very excited Hermione. She was dancing around the dorm singing about the first day of classes. When her eyes rested on my face she stopped mid stride and frowned. I guess my face was pretty easy to read. I looked into my bedside clock to see my reflection. My hair was sticking everywhere and my eyes were puffy and red.

"Rae, what's wrong?" She asked walking towards me. Ginny joined her on my bed and gave me a hug. I told them every little detail about last night. By the end of the story Hermione looked appalled and Ginny looked furious.

"He is a complete git. I am going to get my hands on him and ring his neck" Ginny screamed. She was so loud I figured the people in the common room could hear. I let my anger get the better of me.

"Yeah, he is a total fucking asshole" I also screamed. I was going to show Draco Malfoy that I was not weak. I dressed quickly and covered up my eyes with make-up. I straightened my hair and then put it into a messy ponytail. Both girls grabbed one of my arms and he sauntered to the Great Hall. We spotted Harry, Ron, Neville and Luna. As we walked through the hall I felt eyes on me. I looked out of the corner of my eye and saw Malfoy watching me. I was not going to acknowledge that jerk.

"Let's keep this our little secret." I told the girls as we neared the group.

"What?" Hermione demanded loudly. I looked around and noticed the others watching us curiously. The boys would be my perfect cover.

"If Harry and Ron found out about this it would be disastrous. They would both kill Malfoy. Then they would be either expelled or sent to Azkaban. Do you ever what to see your boyfriends again?" I explained. They both begrudgingly agreed to not tell anyone about my late night meeting. We had just sat down to breakfast when McGonagall handed us our schedules. I looked mine over and groaned out loud. I snatched everyone else's and compared them.
